[Em] This is for them.
_ _ _ _ _ [Am] _
[Em] _ [F#m] _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ [Am] _
[Em] _ [B] _ [Em] When the time comes
[Am] You're [Em] no [B] longer there
_ [Em] All down to my knees
[Am]
[Em] Begin my [B] nightmare
[Em] Words spill from my drunken mouth.
[Am] I [Em] just can't keep [F#] them all in
[Em] I keep up with the race and rats [Am] and do [Em] my [B] best to [F#m] win
[Em] _ Slow [G] _ [Am] _
[Em] _ [F#m] _ _ [Em] _ _ _ [G] _ [C] _
[Em] _ [B] _ [Em] _ down little one
You [Am] can't [Em] keep running [Bm] away
[Em] You mustn't go outside yet
[Am] It's not your [Em] time to [F#m] play
[Em] I'll push my hands [G] up to the sky
[C] Shade my [Bm] eyes from the sun [Em] as the dust settles around me
[C] Suddenly nighttime [F#] has begun
[Em] _ If [C] the pain [Em] were to fall from the sky
How [C] big a hole [G] would you leave
in the surface [Bm] of the earth?
[Em] _ _
_ [G] _ [Am] _ [Em] _ [Bm] _ _ [Em] _ _
_ [G] _ [Am] _ [Em] _ [F#m] _ [Em] Let's pretend we never met
[Am] Let's [Em] pretend we're on [Bm] our own
[Em] We'll live different lives
[Am] Until [Bm] our covers fall
[Em] I'll push my hand up [G] to the sky
[Am] Shade my [F#m] eyes from the sun [Em] as the [G] dust settles around me
[Am] Suddenly [F#] nighttime [G] has begun
[Em] _ _
If [C] the pain were [G] to fall [E] from the sky
[Em]
How big [C] a hole would [Em] you leave in [G] the surface of [D] the earth?
[G] The surface of [D] the earth [Em] Come [C] on
[G] You knew you [D] were lost
But [Em] you carried [C] on
[G] And you [D] wait
[Em] Oh, come [C] on now
[G] You knew you had [D] no time
But [Em] you let the [C] tape drift [G] _ [D] away
[Em] If _ [G] _
_ [Am] _ [G] _ [D] _ _ [Em] _ _ [G] _
_ [Am] _ [Bm] _ [D] _ _ [Em] _ _ _
[C] the pain were [G] to fall [Em] from the sky
How big [C] a [Em] hole would it leave? _ _
And if the [C] [G] pain were to fall [Em] from the sky _
How big a [C] [Em] hole would it make?
[G] In the surface [D] of the earth
The surface of the earth
The surface of the [E] earth
Thank _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bm] _ _ [G] _ you very much
